AskMate

This is a Q&A page, where you can ask questions and answer them. Like Reddit.

Story

Its time to put your newly acquired Flask skills to use! Your next big task will be to implement a crowdsourced Q&A site, like Stack Overflow.

The initial version of the site should be able to handle questions and answers, there is no need for other functionality like user management or comments for questions/answers.

The management was very interested in the agile development methodologies that they just recently hear about, thus they are handing out a prioritized list of user stories called a product backlog. Try to estimate how many of these stories your team can finish until the demo. As the order is important, you should choose from the beginning of the list as much as you can, the first four stories are the most important.
